[UPDATED]: Grandma Follows Through and Has Thanksgiving Dinner with Stranger After Accidental Text

Update, 11/28/2016: After an accidental text invite, Grandma Wanda Dench was true to her word and even though he forgot the pumpkin pie, she welcomed 17-year-old Jamal Hinton into her home last Thursday for Thanksgiving.

Unfortunately, she didn't have room for the 600 other people who texted her asking if they could be invited too, but her and her family enjoyed their afternoon with Hinton who is now Grandma Dench's "honorary grandson."

"I'd never seen her before and she welcomed me into her home," Hinton told ABC 15 Arizona. "That shows me how great of a person she is, I'm thankful for people like that."

Original, 11/17/2016: Thanksgiving is all about sharing food with strangers, thereby promoting kindness and celebrating the communal ties that bind us as human beings. Which is probably why the unlikely story of 17-year-old Jamal Hinton of Phoenix, Arizona, and Grandma Wanda of Mesa, Arizona, has touched so many hearts. It all began, as so many stories do, with an accidental text.

On Tuesday, Jamal received a group text from an unknown number, informing him of the time and place of Thanksgiving dinner this year. When he asked who the message was from, the sender replied "Your grandma."

Thinking it might actually be his grandma, he asked her for a photo. It was not his grandma.

He then asked the next most natural question. "Can I get a plate tho?" And she gave the most natural answer: "Of course you can. That's what grandmas do...feed everyone."
